From Schaetter Funeral Home:

Vernon Lee Brodbeck was born on December 5th, 1933 in Fredericksburg, Texas to Albert and Estella Woerner Brodbeck

He married Dorothy Koennecke on September 12th, 1959 in the Edison Street Methodist Church, Fredericksburg

Vernon was an avid baseball player. He played catcher and pitcher for several teams and was also known for hitting homeruns for the ladies. He even said he hit one homerun so far that it was the reason the cow jumped over the moon.

Vernon worked for National Wholesale Grocery for 33 years. He started as a truck driver and later became a top salesman for the company. He was a hard worker who believed strongly in making sure his family was taken care of, even if that meant working through painful injuries. He later worked for various other companies, including the Fredericksburg Independent School District.

Vernon believed very much in family. He loved when the entire family gathered together for BBQs, Christmas festivities, birthdays, and anniversaries. Sharing stories, playing dominoes, and joking with his grandchildren and great grandchildren were some of his favorite past times.
